    And what exactly is wrong with children watching porn? If you get the issue of sex dealt with children before they are having unprotected sex with everyone and their grandmother/grandfather(s), then your children might not be contracting HIV at 15 and dying of AIDS at 19.

    The so-called "psychological effects" are equivalents to a fresh, steaming pile of horse shit. Watching porn at an early age has the opposite effect that is documented in these "studies". Most of your 14-15 year old sluts haven't seen a porn flick in their lives (nor do they need to with the sex they get). Most of it is by a bunch of backwards-thinking liberals that just can't side with science and admit that God does not exist, and must constantly force their beliefs upon our legal system. Where's the separation of church and state in that?.

    That's not the reason the Islamic terrorists want to kill us -- it in our equal treatment of men and women. To get them off our back, we would need to abolish the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, mainly because their religion teaches them that women are NOT people by our standards, but animals to be used to manual labor and sexual gratification, plus "inferior" races must be forced to live in servitude to the "superior" races.

    Basically, women and niggers should have the same level of rights as they did in the 1850s and before. And you say porn is bad?

    And this backported security patch would be a dirty hack and wouldn't work as intended, so what's the point? Changes for the 2.6 Linux kernel, for example, should NEVER be backported to 2.4, because they will be flaky and unstable at best.

    And on any other distribution, you would had to wipe your disks clean and install an updated version of your favourite binary distro. "Upgrading" from Fedora 3 to 4, for example, requires you to nuke (read: delete permanetly) anything not on /home, so how is Gentoo any different from any other Linux distribution or even UNIX out there?

    Get a fucking clue. Innovation is made by building upon the past. Windows XP was only a innovation because it has a new UI. It was basically Windows 2000 with a flashy new UI and a cheap firewall. Windows ME was basically 98 with a 2000-style interface, just without any stability.

    Yeah, I really didn't understand this.

    Why did he go to the trouble of discussing how the iPhone "runs OSX," "has Cocoa" and "runs desktop-class applications" if it's going to be a closed platform?

    It's completely nutters. Apple could choose to be in control of THE "must-have" POSIX handheld device with a software library encompassing all of OSX's existing software (minus the heavy hardware requirement stuff) and a significant fraction of the software available for FreeBSD and Linux... or they could choose to have a phone.

    Compare it to the reason given that it's a closed platform -- they said untrusted applications could break the network.

    This means that the software driving every single Cingular cellular tower is horribly shitty and buggy, since an "untrusted app" crashing MIGHT, MIGHT, in a stroke of luck, cause a random signal to be send and "OMG! THE SYSTEM CAN'T HANDLE UNDEFINED TRANSMISSIONS! CRASH!", and there goes that cell tower for a few hours.

    GNAA Announces Immediate Release of OSX_x86_YHBT

    Ich Bindawalross (London) - GNAA (NYSE: GNAA) President timecop released a statement today regarding the immediate Internet release of MacOS X for the x86 architecture, available on many BitTorrent networks. After making the statement, timecop yielded the stage to a second speaker at the press conference, Apple Computer co-Founder and CEO, Steve "Rim" Jobs, now fully recovered from his recent gender reassignment surgery to field questions from attending press members.

    "We here at Apple Computerth [sic] have decided on a slightly different path for the upcoming version of the MacOS X," Jobs states before bursting out into high pitched giggles. "We have replaced our overpriced and bloated software with an efficient and easy-to-use interface. I would like to take this opportunity to announce a merger larger than a Zimbabwe nigger cock: GNAA and Apple Computer."

    Returning to the podium, timecop began speaking again, while Steve Jobs submitted to orally pleasuring his ten inch nigger cock. "Dedicated faggots have been loyally purchasing the homosexual software and hardware abomination that is Macintosh computers. Apple has been striving to provide software customers with the most flambouyantly homosexual combination available. However, in recent days, this hasn't been enough.

    "There has been increasing pressure from the disgustingly obese Lunix nerds and the socially well-adjusted and popular Windows users to convert, as well as pressure from OS X emulators to provide consumers with increasingly gay products. Apple Computer has decided to merge with GNAA in order to broaden the appeal and better serve the interests of all those who buy Macintosh products. Furthermore, we will adopt Apple's "Step 2 ???? PROFIT!" marketing model. This will also stop Apple from going out of business, which they probably would have otherwise."

    At this point, timecop paused and deposited a quart of Gaynigger seed into Steve Jobs' mouth.

    "GNAApple is committed to our new OS X86. Rather than give the user the difficulty of finding pornography themselves, we provide them with the classic hello.jpg, redundantly archived and brand labeled throughout the 950 MB DVD image, as well as a bundled copy of GPA (Gay Porn Avalanche). Now, greater efficiency in masturbatory pursuits can be provided to all."

    "As Slashdot users, many of you might have been exposed to the pirated release, and information pertaining to it. We would like to thank Rob "CmdrCocko" Malda for running the first article, leading to the release of information about our upcoming merger. We would also like to extend our gratitude to thepiratebay.org and XiSO for helping us spread the release over the 'underground scene.' We thank you, the IRC channels who put it on their hacked .edu xdcc bots and fserves who hosted it on your dialup connections.

    Steve Jobs, recovering from the large dosage of AIDS from the variety of syphilitic, festering sores of GNAA members, rose to his feet at this point during the press conference. "Our previous versions of OS X were released prematurely, and as a result the operating system was unstable and fragile. Our team of software engineers have also decided to abandon the weak and inefficient UNIX backside in favor of a more efficient and robust alternative: WinNT. The pirated version of our new operating system has had record acclaim from users of the Jewish-based internet news organization known as "Slashdot".

    "Those doubting the superiority of our new release need only read user testimonials."
